Clopton Siteworks
South Richmond District, Richmond VA
Formerly the Philip Morris Tobacco Storage Warehouse Complex, this 25-acre site includes twenty-six 20,000-square-foot historic timber-frame warehouses. Financed in part by historic tax credits, the buildings are being re-purposed to meet the varying needs of small businesses; 14 warehouses have been renovated and currently house a variety of companies and nonprofits. Once complete, this project is expected to bring more than 500 jobs to the neighborhood, creating a thriving new business district in South Richmond.
4100 Tomlynn Street
Henrico County VA
Following the acquisition of 4100 Tomlynn Street, Lynx|Rebkee sold a parcel to Topgolf, a golf entertainment entity, which developed the land into a state-of-the-art golf facility. Lynx|Rebkee has since leased existing industrial space to two prominent distribution/retailers and Carter’s Printing. Remaining warehouse space is currently being renovated and is anticipated to be on the market Fall 2021.
Carlton Views I and II
Charlottesville VA
Through a grant by the city of Charlottesville and a loan by the Virginia Housing and Development Authority, Lynx expanded the residential component of this master-planned development from 54-units of affordable housing to 150 units. The most recent phase delivered in 2021 and leased up at record pace.
New Manchester Flats
Manchester District, Richmond VA
New Manchester Flats, developed by Rick Gregory and Tom Papa as a historic rehabilitation project, transformed two industrial-era buildings into 227 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and 46 artist studios. By combining intelligent design with green standards, the project created desirable urban living in what had been a neglected warehouse district. Great attention was given to preserve and reuse organic elements such as concrete, heart pine and maple flooring, exposed brick, and wood beams wherever possible, while incorporating every modern convenience.
Other Experience
The Locks
Richmond VA
Encompassing six acres of Richmond’s downtown waterfront, The Locks is an exclusive enclave of residential and commercial spaces along the historic Haxall and Kanawha canals including 226 apartment units, 9,000 SF office and 7,000 restaurant space. The project reconnected the bustling business district, dining, shopping and entertainment venues of Shockoe Slip with the city’s waterfront through a Public Private Partnership with the City of Richmond.
Miller Lofts
Manchester District, Richmond VA
Miller Lofts, an income-restricted multi-family development funded by entirely by LIHTCs, proved the notion that affordable housing can and should be abundant with many of the features and amenities one would expect in market-rate housing. Among the amenities are a 1,900-square-foot saltwater swimming pool with two dedicated lap lanes and an on-site kayak center where residents can check-out equipment for enjoying the nearby James River.
Plant Zero
Manchester District, Richmond VA
The revitalization of the Manchester Warehouse District that Rick Gregory and Tom Papa began in 2001 with The Commons at Plant Zero has since become regarded as the core of this booming district. Located just across the Mayo Bridge from downtown Richmond, Plant Zero grew to include uniquely designed apartment homes, art studios, restaurants, and commercial, retail, and event spaces.
